re·sur·gencenoun: an increase or revival after a period of little activity, popularity, or occurrence.

Saying it’s the return would imply he went somewhere. But our love and admiration for black men with beards has helped put some much-deserved attention on what was once an underrepresented group of black men. Black men with beards have always existed. They have always been suave and polished, debonair, and sexy. When the beard regained popularity, the focus also shifted from a man's earthly possessions to his outwardly appearance. The beard signifies patience, confidence, and power. It adds an air of style and sophistication we adore seeing our brothers embrace. We expect 2017 to be the year of the bearded man infused with an onslaught of gentleman style. We look forward to aiding in the popularity and reverence of you black men with beards. We love you.
